Repairing and restoring Incarnation Catholic Church in south Minneapolis will likely take upwards of six months, but church leaders say they’re committed to the process.

The historic church was built at its location on Pleasant Avenue in 1909 by French architect Emmanuel Louis Masqueray, who also designed the St. Paul Cathedral and Minneapolis Basilica.

Early Wednesday morning, fire crews battled a blaze inside the church’s main sanctuary after a parishioner spotted the fire during their morning commute.
